Another day, another OnePlus 5T rumour. The speculated ‘T’ iteration of the successful OnePlus 5 has been in the news for various leaks and renders. Now, it appears that the OnePlus 5T might be launched somewhere between the 11th of November and 20th of November and will indeed have a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Just like the OnePlus 3T, the OnePlus 5T is expected to be an incremental update rather than a drastic new upgrade in terms of hardware. The 5T is expected to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset as it is the current flagship chipset. The dual cameras at the back are also expected to be the same as found on the OnePlus 5. The OnePlus 5T will have a 6 inch AMOLED display with a 2160 x 1080 x resolution which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio.
The smartphone is expected to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with OnePlus’ Oxygen OS on top. The 2017 flagship will have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset with a combination of either 6GB RAM and 64GB of storage or a whopping 8GB RAM and 128 of storage which can not be expanded. The OnePlus 5T is also expected feature dual cameras on the back, one of the main cameras is a 20 MP sensor with an f/2.6 aperture, while the other is a 16 MP camera with an aperture of F/1.7 . The secondary telephoto lens is used for 2X lossless optical zoom and a ‘portrait mode’ for blurred background images.
Co-founder of OnePlus, Carl Pei recently held a poll on Twitter:

The overwhelming response in favour of the headphone jack should at least guarantee that the OnePlus 5T if launched, will have the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack.
There have been some hints which can be interpreted into a new phone launch. OnePlus has the habit of stopping the production of its current device to accommodate the launch and manage the supple of its upciming smartphone. Keeping that in mind, it has been noted that the OnePlus 5 has been out of stock in a lot of markets for over a month now and there is no word from the company about its availability.
If the launch date turns out to be true, OnePlus might be sending out press invites soon and that should definitely shed more light on whether the OnePlus 5T is true or just a hoax like the Ultra Pixel.
